History

Comoros became independent from French colonial rule in 1975. The first trade union formed shortly after. The neighboring island Mayotte remains a region of France. No trade union existed on Mayotte island until 1979. [1]

Workers have the right to join trade unions, collectively bargain and take part in strikes. [2] Teachers unions are the most active affiliate of CTTC. [1]
